Rare - a genuine doable renovation at a good price, great location, charming property

This longere style property offers four sound walls and the roof looks good, water and electricity are connected and one part is habitable to a basic level. Full interior conversion would give a spacious home with up to four bedrooms. Built in local granite and situated on a hillside, the property offers spectacular views over the surrounding countryside.

This property will need work to reach its full potential, but it's priced to reflect that. The part of the ground floor which is habitable comprises an entrance hall with kitchen off to the left, there is a bedroom off this which further leads on to a bathroom. Back in the entrance hall there is a further bedroom off. There are exposed beams throughout and fireplaces in the kitchen and one of the bedrooms.

The first floor area described above is approximately 35m2. Continuing on in true longère style and all built in the same mellow stone, there is a garage/shed of around 24m2 with a bread oven last used about 20 years ago and further outbuildings of around 42m2 giving the potential to create a total ground floor of about 100m2 of habitable space.

There is also a completely undeveloped first floor above the whole and you would need to create a staircase to get up to it. Count on digging out some earth floors, rewiring, redoing the septic tank, sorting out some heating and you will have the country home of your dreams. Don't let this list put you off, much of it could be done by a keen DIY enthusiast and for the price of a tiny terrace in the UK you could have a spacious home. Somewhere to get away from traffic jams, noise, crowds and the daily grind to relax and enjoy a whole new more meaningful way of life.

The garden is one area which doesn't need any work with established planting and lawns, pens for poultry and just over an acre of land running down to a stream it's a rural idyll. There is a forecourt in front of the property providing parking.

About an hour away are the ferries of St Malo which arrive from Portsmouth, Poole and the Channel Islands or Dinard airport with its regular RyanAir flights from various parts of the UK. Also in easy reach are Roscoff, Brest, Rennes, Nantes, Caen and Cherbourg.

DPE : This property does not have a fixed heating system
